A higher temperature, stiffer materials, and less dense materials increase the speed of sound.
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.
Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.
As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is
and the kinetic energy is
. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is
, but the kinetic energy is reduced to
. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.
Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
Answer:

Explanation:
For an electromagnetic wave, the relationship between magnetic field amplitude and electric field amplitude is given by

where
E is the amplitude of the electric field
c is the speed of light
B is the amplitude of the magnetic field
For the electromagnetic wave in this problem, we have
E = 10 V/m is the amplitude of the electric field
So if we solve the formula for B, we find the amplitude of the magnetic field:

Answer:
wavelength = 24 m
Period = 10 s
f = 0.1 Hz
Amplitude = 4 m
Explanation:
Wavelength:
Since the boats are at crest and trough, respectively at the same time. Hence, the horizontal distance between them is the wavelength of the wave:
<u>wavelength = 24 m</u>
Period:
The period is given as:

<u>Period = 10 s</u>
<u></u>
Frequency:
The frequency is given as:

<u>f = 0.1 Hz</u>
<u></u>
Amplitude:
Amplitude will be half the distance between extreme points, that is, crest and trough:
Amplitude = 8 m/2
<u>Amplitude = 4 m</u>
